Jesse is a fantastic teacher! I've been working with him for 4 months and I have learned so much. I had very little percussion experience, but he is patient and explains things very well. He motivates me and gives me constructive feedback every lesson. I highly recommend Jesse for beginners and those with experience!

Jesse has been teaching our 6-year-old son drums for a few months now. We are very happy with the results. Our son is making progress every week and is excited about his lessons. He started with zero experience and can now confidently read notes and play multiple beats. Jesse is able to present material in a fun and digestible, especially for a child who often has hard time sitting still and staying attentive. We would absolutely recommend Jesse for young beginner drum lessons!

Jesse is such a pro. He made me feel super comfortable in our first lesson and tailored our time together to suit my needs and interests. He knows that “one size doesn’t fit all” in drumming, and offers multiple different solutions that click for each individual. He is a great teacher who really cares!

Taking lessons from Jesse was a great idea. I played a little before but learning a real method behind music opens up a new world to learn in. Awesome teacher.
